- Striking diversity and distribution of non-native chelonians in Germany
Hedi Schloddarick, Frederic Griesbaum, Melita Vamberger et al. · NeoBiota · 2026-06 · open access
The introduction of non-native species has created significant global biodiversity challenges, both directly and indirectly, affecting native ecosystems and biodiversity. Since the 1930s, with a peak in the 1980s and early 1990s, human activities have facilitated the global spread of the North…
- Retrospective Analysis of Hatchling Success From Chelonian Eggs at a North Carolina Wildlife Clinic 2010 to 2023.
Diehl CC, Hiser SA, Moon DD et al. · Zoo biology · 2026-04 · open access
The success rate of deposited and harvested chelonian hatchlings between 2010 and 2023 were retrospectively reviewed by the North Carolina State University College of Veterinary Medicine Turtle Rescue Team. These data were analyzed to determine factors that may influence hatchling success including…

- Role of Trachemys scripta elegans in polystome (Platyhelminthes, Monogenea, Polystomatidae) spillover and spillback following the trade of freshwater turtles in southern Europe and North America.
Verneau O, Quinn D, Smith KG et al. · Parasite (Paris, France) · 2025-05 · open access
The red-eared slider, Trachemys scripta elegans (Wied, 1938), has been introduced worldwide, partly because of the exotic pet trade in the 1980s and 1990s. When T. s. elegans is released or escapes into natural environments, it often establishes new feral populations due to its tolerance for a…
